I Really Didn't Mean to Become a Live-in Son-in-Law Drunken Alone at Night 2347 words 2026-03-20 07:21:40

“Hahaha, this is killing me! What kind of bank card is that? It’s got to be a fake,” Qin Lihua laughed heartily, staring at the world bank card in Ma Xiaozhi’s hand.

Boss Niu chimed in smugly, “Exactly. I’m a big-time boss, mingling with the elite everywhere, and I’ve never seen a card like this. If it’s real and there are three million two hundred thousand on it, I’ll eat this X7 right here.”

As Ma Xiaozhi was about to take the card to the counter, Qin Lihua called out to her. “Ma Xiaozhi, have you been drugged or something? That card is obviously fake, and you still want to take it to the counter? Just call security—say someone’s trying to scam us out of a BMW.”

“How can you be so sure it’s fake if you haven’t tried it?” He Haoxuan shot the crowd a cold look.

Boss Niu nodded, “Yes, maybe you should listen to this working man. Go and swipe the card at the counter. If there really are hundreds of millions on it, then you’ll be filthy rich.”

Qin Lihua immediately caught Boss Niu’s drift. Facts speak louder than words—let Ma Xiaozhi swipe the card. Once the finance office discovers it’s a fake, they’ll call the police for sure. That laborer will be in big trouble then.

Brilliant—Boss Niu always knows how to play along. Let the man pretend for now; when the truth comes out, it’ll be a real slap in the face.

Seeing Ma Xiaozhi hesitating, Qin Lihua exploded, “Ma Xiaozhi, you idiot, hurry up and swipe the card! How did you even get hired here? If you don’t make any sales soon, I’ll suggest to the manager that you be fired.”

Ma Xiaozhi, feeling wronged, walked toward the counter. It wasn’t that she hadn’t made sales—every time a customer was about to buy, Qin Lihua would find an excuse to send her away and steal the deal for herself.

Ma Xiaozhi reached the counter with the card, and Boss Niu and the others followed.

The finance clerk looked at the card, covered in English, and asked curiously, “This doesn’t seem like a domestic bank card. Are you sure you can pay with it?”

Ma Xiaozhi replied, “I’m not sure either. The customer gave it to me and said he wanted to buy the X7 for three million two hundred thousand.”

Boss Niu mocked, “Miss Finance, go ahead and swipe it. If there’s no money, call the police at once.”

“I’ve already called for security,” Qin Lihua said confidently, glancing at the two security guards with batons behind her.

Now, even if He Haoxuan wanted to run, he couldn’t. There was about to be a good show.

Ma Xiaozhi shook her head to herself. She, too, thought He Haoxuan was joking. How could someone dressed like that possibly have three million two hundred thousand to buy a BMW X7?

But now, even if he wanted to leave, he couldn’t—Qin Lihua was out for his blood.

Sigh. When the security guards made their move, she would plead for He Haoxuan.

The finance clerk took the card, swiped it, and Ma Xiaozhi entered the password.

Boss Niu grinned, “We’re about to find out how much that laborer really has.”

With a beep, the card machine chimed. The finance clerk glanced at the information, and her expression changed dramatically.

“Hahaha, Miss Finance, did you find out it’s a fake card? Don’t worry, with me here, he’s not going anywhere,” Boss Niu said, thinking the finance clerk was furious to have found a fake card.

Qin Lihua shouted, “Security, come here! Grab the laborer—don’t let him get away. I’m calling the police right now.”

The finance clerk shrieked, “No, it’s not fake! The card is real—the three million two hundred thousand has already been transferred to our BMW dealership’s account.”

“What? Are you sure? Look again—open your eyes a bit wider!” Boss Niu couldn’t believe it.

The finance clerk shook her head, “No mistake. I just saw the company’s bank account increase by three million two hundred thousand—I even got the notification.”

“Then why did you just scream?” Qin Lihua asked in confusion.

“I—” The finance clerk couldn’t speak. She had been startled because, for a split second, she thought she’d glimpsed a balance of several billion.

This man was not only handsome but wealthy—the finance clerk’s heart fluttered.

Ma Xiaozhi asked blankly, “Sister Finance, does that mean the BMW X7 is sold and Mr. He can drive it away?”

“Yes, Xiaozhi, congratulations! You’ll get a commission of over thirty thousand today. No, wait—didn’t the boss say yesterday that whoever sold the X7 would get an additional ten thousand as a bonus? You’ll get over forty thousand in total,” the finance clerk said enviously.

“What? He’s not a laborer?” Qin Lihua’s eyes widened in shock.

Suddenly, she sprang up and shouted at Ma Xiaozhi, “Don’t steal my commission! I was the one who first greeted Mr. He. Finance, put my name down, not Ma Xiaozhi’s!”

Ma Xiaozhi had been overjoyed, but now, hearing Qin Lihua, she froze on the spot.

Over forty thousand—sometimes she wouldn’t earn that much in commissions in a whole year. After all, not everyone could afford a three-million-two-hundred-thousand BMW X7.

He Haoxuan shot Qin Lihua a glare, “Ma Xiaozhi was the one who sold me the car. You can’t put anyone else’s name.”

Qin Lihua hurried to He Haoxuan’s side and whispered, “Mr. He, if you put my name down as the salesperson, I’ll accompany you tonight—three nights in a row.”

Over forty thousand was on the line—she was desperate.

He Haoxuan turned and scolded her, “Get lost! I’m telling you now, if you put anyone else’s name, I want my money back immediately.”

Seeing that He Haoxuan wouldn’t agree and had even insulted her, Qin Lihua grew angry. “Hmph, the money’s already in our company’s account—there’s no way you’re getting it back. Just take your car and don’t meddle in our internal affairs.”

He Haoxuan fixed his gaze on the finance clerk, “Refund me immediately, or I’ll wreck your dealership.”

“Sir, let’s talk this over,” the finance clerk said, siding with Qin Lihua. After all, Ma Xiaozhi was new, while Qin Lihua was a supervisor—they weren’t on the same level. She figured she’d write Qin Lihua’s name after He Haoxuan left, and Qin Lihua would give her a cut. As for the new Ma Xiaozhi, what could she do?

He Haoxuan demanded, “Give me an answer now. Is Ma Xiaozhi’s name going on the sale? If not, refund me.”

The finance clerk, intimidated by He Haoxuan’s aggressive tone, momentarily forgot about the balance on his card and sneered, “Sir, you bought our car and paid for it—there are no refunds. If you try to force the issue, our security guards aren’t just for show.”

Hearing this, He Haoxuan suddenly leaped up, and with a kick, sent the monitor on the table flying.

The service clerk screamed.

“Hahaha, a fight! Security, get in there!” Boss Niu shouted gleefully.
